Storytelling festival
Welcome to the sixth East Renfrewshire Council Storytelling Festival.
The sixth East Renfrewshire Storytelling Festival will run from the 8th March to the 9th April. The aim of the festival is to celebrate the art of storytelling in all its forms, from the spoken word, through song, dance and theatre.
This year’s festival is another diverse and varied programme of events which will reach all parts of the community. It is designed to remind us all of the value and importance of storytelling, not only as a means of communication, but also as a way to entertain and educate.
The festival will feature storytellers from near and far that have come to share and enjoy a tale or two. Lots of children will be entertained in schools, libraries and nurseries, but there are also plenty of events for adults to attend. Look out for an Archaeology event in Neilston Library, Authors Karen Campbell & Lin Anderson in Barrhead Library, Storytelling Family Fun Days at Eastwood Park Theatre and much more. From the very young to the very old there will be something for everyone.
more meaningful experience. They are the currency of human contact.”
